If you are an intermediate/advanced English-learner and would like to polish your pronunciation and grammar, expand your vocabulary, and sound more natural, I can help! I am thinking about offering this kind of help as a tutor, but I need some practice first. If you are a native speaker of both Russian and a non-"Western" language, I'd especially love to work with you! But I think French would be next in line :) I also have a special interest in things that are "lost in translation," both in the actual words and in cultural differences, so I'd be happy to discuss those issues and answer your questions; I might even be able to save you some embarrassment! About myself: I have gone back to University to get a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am interested in doing both research and psychiatric practice. My interests include geography, comparative linguistics, ballet, cognitive and biological psychology, the Russian Republics, Islam (I am not muslim, but I think it's a very beautiful and interesting religion), and Olympic weightlifting/тяжелая aтлетика/haltérophilie, and I have worked for two and a half years at a dog daycare, so I can also talk you to death about dogs. ♡♡♡ Also, you do not have to agree with any of these things, but I don't want to hear anything homophobic, islamophobic, racist, sexist or generally hateful. I hate to be abrupt about it, but it's come up before and I'd rather skip the grief ♡♡♡ Personal fun fact: I recently memorized the world map, and I can describe most of it from memory. Psychology fun fact: When you look quickly from one place to another, your brain blinds you (stops processing visual input) - otherwise, we'd all be dizzy all the time!
